Queensborough Performing Arts Center at Queensborough Community College

Tiffany Mills Company’s new work-in-progress combines Mills’ boldly physical vocabulary with a Dr. Seussian playfulness, embracing the idiosyncratic. An eclectic array of music from Sleater-Kinney, Beck, and the Beastie Boys accompanies this foray into an off-kilter existence.
Other residencies this winter/spring include: Andrew Nemr at Borough of Manhattan Community College; luciana achugar and mwest dances at College of Staten Island, Department of Creative and Performing Arts; Camille A. Brown at On Stage at Kingsborough; Elisa Monte Dance at LaGuardia Performing Arts Center; Sidra Bell Dance atLehman College Department of Dance and Theatre; Jiva Dance and Divine Rhythm Collective at Queens College; and Jenni Hong at Queensborough College, Department of Dance and Physical Education. In addition to rehearsing on campus, these artists are presenting open rehearsals and workshops for CUNY students.
Since January 2017, twelve CUNY colleges in all five boroughs have been hosting residencies, offering studio and stage time to 15 New York City-based choreographers and companies. Seven of these CDI-supported artists will have performances and/or informal showings on CUNY campuses this spring. Highlights include a preview performance of Urban Bush Women’s Hair and Other Stories, a new solo program by longtime Graham dancer Miki Orihara, and an evening of premieres by Tom Gold Dance.
